A very high-capacity ducted solution designed for the most demanding HVAC projects in Quebec

At AirGreen , we have been installing and maintaining ducted HVAC systems for over 15 years in contexts where real-world performance, long-term reliability, and installation precision are essential. Whether in high-end residences, multiplexes, commercial buildings, professional offices, or institutional buildings in Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , on the North Shore or the South Shore , we know that expectations for a 48,000 BTU ducted system are high.

The FUJITSU CENTAURI R32 | 48,000 BTU ducted heat pump is the ideal solution when heating and cooling loads are significant, comfort must be consistent throughout the building, and winter weather conditions leave no room for error. This system is designed to operate stably, quietly, and efficiently, even in severe outdoor temperatures.


A ducted heat pump truly adapted to the Quebec climate

Reliable heating performance down to -21°C

One of the key criteria for our customers is the system's ability to maintain comfort in the depths of winter without excessive reliance on supplemental heating. The FUJITSU CENTAURI R32 48,000 BTU is designed to provide heating capacity down to -21°C , without a low-temperature shut-off device.

In several projects completed by AirGreen on the North Shore , particularly in buildings exposed to wind and rapid temperature fluctuations, this feature makes all the difference. The system continues to produce heat steadily, preventing aggressive cycling, indoor temperature variations, and the discomfort often experienced with undersized or poorly adapted equipment.

At critical intermediate temperatures, such as -8°C or -15°C , the available power remains very high, allowing a large part of the thermal needs to be covered without excessive electrical consumption.

Inverter technology: stability, efficiency and longevity

The Inverter technology integrated into the Centauri series allows the compressor to precisely adjust its speed according to the actual demand of the building. In practical terms, this means:

  • a more constant indoor temperature

  • fewer sudden starts and stops,

  • a reduction in mechanical wear,

  • improved energy efficiency over the entire season.

In commercial buildings in Montreal , where occupancy varies according to the hours and days, this fine modulation of power directly contributes to reducing operating costs, while improving occupant comfort.


Average static pressure: a key advantage for complex duct networks

Suitable for long distances and demanding configurations

The FUJITSU CENTAURI 48,000 BTU is a ducted heat pump with medium static pressure , capable of efficiently managing ductwork systems including:

  • long horizontal sections,

  • several branches,

  • grids located away from the internal unit,

  • pressure losses greater than in a standard installation.

Thanks to its automatic static pressure detection , the system adjusts the airflow to maintain optimal performance. In projects carried out by AirGreen in office buildings in Laval , this feature made it possible to achieve homogeneous air distribution across multiple zones, without over-ventilation or excessive noise.

High and even airflow

With an airflow exceeding 1,500 CFM , this ducted heat pump is perfectly suited for large areas. It ensures uniform distribution of heated or cooled air, preventing the cold or overheated zones often encountered with poorly balanced systems.


Remarkable acoustic comfort for a power output of 48,000 BTU

Silent interior, even during continuous operation

Despite its high capacity, the indoor unit of the FUJITSU CENTAURI R32 stands out for its quiet operation , with noise levels that can go down to about 29 dB(A) depending on the mode selected.

In upscale residential projects in Longueuil and Boucherville , where units are installed near bedrooms or workspaces, this low noise level is a decisive factor. The system operates in the background, without disrupting daily life.

Controlled and well-integrated outdoor unit

The outdoor unit remains discreet for a system of this category. When correctly positioned and installed with anti-vibration mounts, as we systematically do at AirGreen , noise is minimized, even during periods of high heating demand.


R-32 refrigerant: performance and environmental responsibility

The FUJITSU CENTAURI uses R-32 , a refrigerant that is more environmentally friendly than previous generations. This choice reflects a long-term strategy:

  • reduction of global warming potential,

  • improved thermal efficiency

  • lower refrigerant charge for equivalent power.

For owners concerned about the future compliance of their HVAC system and the long-term value of their building, R-32 represents a real advantage.


Energy performance and eligibility for subsidies

Seasonal effectiveness adapted to local conditions

With its excellent SEER2 , HSPF2 , and EER2 values, the FUJITSU CENTAURI 48,000 BTU offers highly competitive energy efficiency for a ducted system of this power. This performance translates into:

  • controlled air conditioning consumption in the summer,

  • stable heating performance during the winter,

  • improved predictability of energy costs.

LogisVert subsidy: a significant financial advantage

This model is eligible for the LogisVert provincial subsidy , currently offered at $4,320 , subject to applicable criteria. At AirGreen , we support our clients through every administrative step to maximize available financial assistance, whether in Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , on the North Shore or the South Shore .


Advanced controls and intelligent integration

Great management flexibility

The Centauri series offers a complete control platform:

  • wired or infrared remote controls,

  • WiFi connectivity options for remote control,

  • Possible integration with building management systems via recognized protocols.

In multi-unit residential projects on the South Shore , this flexibility allows property managers to adapt system control to the specific needs of occupants, without unnecessarily complicating operations.


AirGreen case study: commercial building in Laval

In a large commercial building in Laval , AirGreen replaced an old, inefficient gas-fired system combined with central air conditioning with a FUJITSU CENTAURI R32 48,000 BTU unit . After a full year of operation:

  • Thermal stability has been significantly improved.

  • The temperature differences between areas have disappeared.

  • Energy costs have been better controlled,

  • Maintenance needs have decreased.

This type of result is directly linked to a winning combination: suitable equipment and an HVAC installation carried out according to best practices.


Common mistakes to avoid with a ducted system of this power

Even with an excellent product, certain errors can compromise performance:

  • sizing based solely on surface area

  • inadequate design of the conduit network,

  • lack of precise static pressure adjustment,

  • electrical installation not conforming to system requirements.

At AirGreen , we regularly correct existing installations where these errors have led to a decrease in efficiency, noise or unnecessary overconsumption.


Why entrust your project to AirGreen

Choosing AirGreen means benefiting from:

  • with extensive expertise in ducted systems ,

  • certified and experienced refrigeration technicians ,

  • clear and transparent pricing , with no surprises,

  • $5 million in liability insurance ,
